Procedures related to the CNS

The Flocare® Infinity™ II pump is an enteral feeding pump. It delivers nutrients at a controlled rate (flow rates and volumes can be set in 1 ml increments).

The Flocare® Infinity™ II pump is suitable for all patients requiring enteral nutrition delivered by pump. It is ideal for use both in hospitals and at home.

To obtain a portable oxygen device, a prescription from a pulmonologist is required. Prescriptions from general practitioners are not accepted by the CNS, therefore costs will not be covered. Hospilux handles the request for the CNS coverage approval and informs the patient as soon as it is available. Upon collection, a deposit of €300 is required; once the device is returned to Hospilux in full, the deposit will be refunded.
